Well, this one almost got away from me, but considering what we’re living in right now, I think I may be forgiven. Anyway, it’s been five years since I started this endeavor, five years of throwing the spotlight on Black women in music who make music on their own terms in whatever genre they damn well please. So to celebrate this year, I’m doing something of a greatest hits compilation of some of the women I’ve either gotten to know and appreciate more through the show or got introduced to them and they’ve made a strong impact on me. Some of these tracks you’ve already heard, some are debut. In any case, hope you’ve enjoyed these past five years. And be warned, it’s a supersize two-hour plus playlist, ending with the inspiration behind the show at her most optimistic!
